What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrency is generally understood as a type of virtual currency. It is mostly based on cryptography, which is also where the name originates. An important characteristic of cryptocurrencies is their independence: they are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by a central bank or a government, but are usually developed and distributed by an IT company.
How do cryptocurrencies work?
Cryptocurrencies are based on blockchain technology. It is a decentralized ledger in which all transactions made using this currency are recorded. Several transactions together form a block that is then linked together to form a chain, hence a "Chain." That's the origin of the name. Transactions are verified via a global network of computers.
How can one purchase cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrency tokens can be purchased on so-called cryptocurrency exchanges. These days, they are often accessible via the Internet or an app, where you can easily buy tokens by bank transfer.
It is definitely advisable to thoroughly research the specific cryptocurrency exchange in which you want to invest your money in advance. This is because there is a wide range of exchanges, and not all of them are equally reliable.
How reliable are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies have a partly bad reputation because they are often not based on any currency of a bank and therefore their value fluctuates greatly. Moreover, depending on the technology, cryptocurrencies can also be abused for money laundering, fraud, cybercrime, or financing of malicious activities.
In recent years, however, cryptocurrencies have developed into a genuinely serious payment method that offers many advantages for Comerciante:innen and buyers. The actual seriousness, however, always depends on the respective cryptocurrency itself, which is why it is very important to thoroughly examine the respective provider before purchasing crypto tokens.
What are the advantages of cryptocurrencies?
The following advantages are offered by cryptocurrencies compared to other currencies:
Security: Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and security standards, cryptocurrencies are generally considered very secure, especially since users usually do not have to provide sensitive data to purchase crypto tokens.
Decentralization: Cryptocurrencies are usually not controlled by a central bank or government but have been developed by companies or start-ups. These often operate more socially and offer their technology, for example, also to other companies.
Transparency: All transactions made using cryptocurrencies are stored in the so-called blockchain and are generally publicly visible there, ensuring maximum transparency.
